Absolutely that's wearable. Nice work!

"and what watch would you buy with the remaining 22k if you hadn't got anything else to spend it on" I have enough watches. Maybe wait and see how things go. "...and everything else in life is sorted by a fair margin" Life is full of surprises. Believe me, I know. I did not retire at 46 by buying $25k depreciating assets.

"Anyone ever done this without using some "proper" tool for this. I guess there is a "proper tool" as I cannot see any other way to press fit this stud in?" I place the stud against a solid surface and push the bridge 'fork' down over the stud using a small diameter flat top stump mounted in a staking tool to get it started. It is fairly easy to rig something up...maybe a small post of some sort so it will clear the balance. Be careful to keep away from the tip where the HS is cemented to the stud. No guarantees with this method because I have a lot more 'hairbrained credits' than 'hairspring credits'. Getting the stud fully seated and keeping the HS lined up is also part of the hassle but most of the problem is usually getting the stud started in the fork without having to push on it with a screwdriver (sounds like something out of a porn flick). Once seated the HS can be lined up from the top side but get it as close as possible to start with. You can stick the outer edge of the balance wheel to the leg of the bridge with Rodico to keep it from flopping around. Hairsprings are a curse on the universe imho. Bergeon probably makes a $500 tool that works most of the time. It probably looks like "a screwdriver with an indent like a fork."
